Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
The invention relates to a process and apparatus for manufacturing low-gas and pore-free aluminum casting alloys by vacuum treatment of the melt. Contact between the aluminum melt and the atmospheric humidity of the alloying process, from refining to continuous casting of the cast bars, is kept extremely short, so that environmentally-friendly and effective vacuum degasification, and a high cooling rate, can prevent the formation of gas pores.
After the metal melt is alloyed in a smelting furnace, the melt is fed through a system of gutters directly to at least one vacuum furnace. Refining components are added in the vacuum furnace and the pouring temperature required for continuous casting is adjusted. The vacuum in the vacuum furnace is maintained to degasify the melt and increase the density thereof, such as for an additional 5 to 240 minutes with periodic measurements of the metal density, and the metal melt is then fed through the gutter system directly to the continuous casting mold.

Description
PROCE~S AND APP~RATUS FOR M~NUFACTURING
LOW-G~S AND PORE-FREE ALUMINUM C~STING ALLOYS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Fleld of the Invention:
The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for manufacturing low-gas and pore-free aluminum casting alloys. Crucible or tank-type furnaces qenerally are used to make casting alloys. Either liquid electrolysis metal is loaded or solid metal is smelted. The des~red alloy composition is adjusted by adding alloy components such as silicon, magnesium, copper, titanium and/or nickel. The smelting bath is heated to dissolve and alloy the components. Increased amounts of hydrogen are absorbed because aluminum in the liquid state has a high dissolving capacity for hydrogen. The latter is produced by the reaction of liquid aluminum with steam and is immediately absorbed atomically by the melt. The steam comes in contact with the molten aluminum through the materials used, the jackets of the oven and crucible, the tools, the melting auxiliaries and flux, the combustion of gaseous and liquid fuels, and the atmospheric humidity. The amount of hydrogen di~solved depends on the temperature of the metal, the composition of the alloy, and the partial pressure of the hydrogen. The hydrogen upta~e is favored by open burner ~lames or vigorous bath movements in induction furnaces. In the refining of casting alloys with alkali and alkaline earth metals such as strontium, sodium and calcium, the h~vdrogen content of the melt increases considerably to values of more than 0.3 ml hydrogen per 100 g of metal, since steam decomposes even more rapidly under the influence of these metals. Ihe melt should be purified immediately before pouring if possible, since treatment performed too early can lead to contamination once again during subsequent technological steps, for example pouring to transport the melt. In particular, the melt coming in contact with the humidity in the atmosphere results in an increase in hydrogen content and the resultant undesirable increased porosity of the aluminum castlngs. Usual purification processes are performed with inert as well as chemically-active gases. During flushing with inert gases (argon or nitrogen, for example), the hydrogen is practically physically removed by lowering its partial pressure. This type of hydrogen removal is expensive from the technical standpoint and poses the risk of hydrogen coming in contact with the melt during treatment. In addition, undesirable nitride formation can occur when nitrogen is used with certain alloy components. When chemically active chlorine gas is employed, aluminum chloride is formed and rises to the surface; it produces effective flushing because of its distribution in the~melt.
Chlorine gas is a serious environmental poison, however, and is also expensive to manufacture. The protective measures required to prevent the escape of the poisonous gas and its reaction products require considerable investment. In contrast to the use of chemical agents, vacuum degasification of the melt is especially environmentally friendly and effective method. However, this method is not optimally successful, mainly because of the costly transportation of the melt, intermediate cooling and remelting after the necessary alloying, re~ining, and vacuum degasification processes, ur.til continuous casting takes place and the necessary coming into contact with the atmospheric humidity which that involves, so that the alloying and refining process followed by continuous casting does not produce gas-poor and pore-free aluminum casting alloys.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a process and an apparatus for manufacturing low-gas and pore-free aluminum casting alloys in which contact between the aluminum melt and the atmospheric humidity of the alloying process is maintained extremely low through refining to continuous casting of the 2 ~ ; r~l cast bars, so that environmentally-friendly and effective vacuum degassing can be used and the formation o~ large gas pores prevented by a high cooling rate.

Figure 1 is a diagrammatic illustratlon of an apparatus composed of a smelting furnace, two vacuum smelting furnaces, and one horizontal continuous casting system with a ceramic mold filter, all linked by a system of gutters or troughs for the gravity flow of molten alloy:
Figure 2 is a cross section of a pig or castLng made of metallurgical alloy poured on a prior known water-cooled pig-casting machine, illustrating the large pore content thereof, and Figure 3 is a cross section through a continuous-cast bar, cast according to the process of the present invention and using the apparatus of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
According to the present invention, alloys of reduced poro~ity are produced by alloying the metal melt in a smelting furnace, guiding the smelted alloy melt through a system of gutters directly to at least one vacuum furnace wherein refining components are added, and the pouring temperature required for continuous casting is adiusted.
The vacuum in each vacuum furnace is maintained for another 5 to 240 minutes, with periodic measurement of the metal density, and at this point the molten metal is fed through the gutter system directly to the continuous casting system, with the molten metal being filtered prior to entering the continuous casting mold. According to the invention, the melt is guided from the smelting furnace through the gutter system alternately or simultaneously into two vacuum furnaces, so that the continuous casting r~
system, preferably a horizontal continuous casting mold, can be fed continuously with melt. For optimum qualitative and quantitative performance of the process, it is important that the density of the metal be measured during holding in the vacuum furnace. This makes it possible to control the residence time of the melt under vacuum conditions. It is advantageous that during the holding of the vacuum, the level of the vacuum remains between 100 and 1 mbar.
Regulation of the duration of the vacuum depends primarily on the metal density values measured. Thus, it may be absolutely necessary to maintain or to vary the vacuum during holding. For example, it is advantageous t~hat a value for the vacuum during holding that is as high as possible be set as the density of the metal increases, so that hydrogen can be expelled by reducing its partial pressure further, despite increasing metal density.
By using a water-cooled horizontal continuous casting mold that is loaded quic~ly, and with relatively short travel for the melt from the vacuum furnace, a high cooling rate is likewise achieved that prevents formation of large pores. The arrangement of the smelting furnace, at least one vacuum smelting furnace, and the continuous casting mold, which are linked directly together by a system of gutters, makes it possible to keep the metal always in the molten state during the treatment process. Energy-intensive hardening and remelting processes are eliminated by optimum transportation of the melt through the gutter system. To facilitate the flow of the melt through the gutter system by gravity, a slope is provided by locating the furnace and the continuous casting system on different levels or by using a height-adjustable gutter system. The gutter system according to the invention is an open system so that the flow of the melt can be observed at any time.
Because of the short distance involved, contact of the melt with atmospheric humidity is minimal.
~eferring to the drawing, the smelting furnace 1 in Figure 1 generally is a crucible or tank-type furnace. It serves to make the alloy. The alloy components such as silicone, magnesium, copper, titanium, nickel, etc. are batched, and a refining treatment with reactive or inert gas is performed, and the metal temperature required to transfer the melt to vacuum furnace 2 is set. The melt flows downhill from furnace 1 under the influence of gravity through gutter section 4a into the two vacuum furnaces 2.
The capacity of furnace 1 is so great that both vacuum furnaces 2 can be loaded alternately through gutter sections 4b and 4c. The refining components such as strontium, sodium, and calcium are alloyed here at the necessary temperature set to reflect the predete~rmined pouring temperature. In vacuum furnace 2, the alloy melt is subjected to a vacuum treatment controlled in accordance with the results of the metal density test. Following a positive density test, the melt is fed through sections 4b and 4c, from the two vacuum furnaces 2 sequentially, through the gutter system and through an interposed ceramic mold filter 5, to water-cooled horizontal continuous casting system 3, and cast to form standard bars. The low-gas, pore-free cast alloys thus produced make lt possible with proper remelting to turn out ductile pore-free castings.
The gutter or trough system of Fig. 1 contains multiple connections 4a, 4b and 4c, each of which i9 adjustable heightwise to control the direction of gravity flow of the molten metal from the smelting furnace 1 to either or both of the vacuum alloying furnaces 2, and from either or both of the vacuum alloying furnaces 2 to the filter 5 and mold 3.
Castings of alloys produced according to the prior art process and casting apparatus contain a high degree of porosity due to a large amount of non-liberated gas, as illustrated by Fig. 2 of the drawing, whereas castings of ~ 7 similar alloys produced by the present process and apparatus are substantially gas-free and non-porous, as illustrated by Fig. 3.
It should be understood that the foregoing description is only illustrative of the invention. Various alternatives and n)odi~ications can be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the present invention i5 intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variances whlch fall within the scope of the appended claims.
